Leader of the Women's Equality Party Sophie Walker addresses the rally.
Hundreds of women gather in Trafalgar Square and march to Parliament to hand in a petition calling on the government to take decisive action to better protect and support working Mums. As it's Halloween they dressed as Mummies, of the ancient dead kind, to symbolize the archaic legislation they have to endure.
The event was organised by Pregnant Then Screwed, who campaign to end pregnancy & maternity discrimination. Marches also took place at five other cities in the UK.
The government's own research shows that 54,000 women a year are pushed out of their job for getting pregnant and 77% of working mums endure negative or discriminatory treatment in the workplace. These numbers have almost doubled in the last 10 years. Motherhood is also a key contributor to the gender pay gap with women who have had children by the age of 33 earning 15 per cent less than their peers who remained childless. Women even face discrimination for simply having a womb with 40% of employers saying they would avoid hiring a woman of childbearing age.
